Dir ergeb ich mich by Adam Drese — Lyrics
1. Dir ergeb ich mich,
Jesu, ewiglich!
Habe Dank für deine Liebe,
die mich zieht aus reinem Triebe;
Jesu, ewiglich,
dir ergeb ich mich!
2. Deiner Liebe Glut
stärkt mir Herz und Mut.
Wenn du freundlich mich anblickest
und mit deinem Geist erquickest,
macht mich wohlgemut,
deiner Liebe Glut.
3. Meines Glaubens Licht
lass verlöschen nicht!
Heile mich von Sünd und Schmerzen,
dass hinfort in meinem Herzen
ja verlösche nicht
meines Glaubens Licht!
4. So werd ich in dir

About Dir ergeb ich mich
Adam Drese's Dir ergeb ich mich is a sacred German hymn suitable for congregational singing or a choir. The SATB setting expresses deep devotion and trust in Jesus. The text opens with a pledge of self-surrender and gratitude for divine love, which strengthens the heart and spirit. It continues with a plea for faith to remain alight and for healing from sin and sorrow, ultimately leading to a lasting commitment to honor Jesus and praise His name. This piece offers a profound meditation on faith, love, and enduring commitment, making it a meaningful addition to a choir's repertoire, particularly during times of reflection or spiritual emphasis.
